The LL is picking up the bill so at least he is getting his monies worth. LOL"Give an inch, take a mile" springs to mind
He's a very good LL and if he thought we had let the skip go, without filling it, he would call me daft.
What have you been doing today?

Damn next doors cat! My neighbour caught this young dove on his front lawn just as the cat was about to pounce. He didn’t know what to do with it so brought it to me. I’m giving it bed and board for the night but he is very tame. Its not ill or injured as far as I can see and will sit comfortably on my hand. So comfortable that it started to preen itself which is a good sign for a bird. I’ll see how it is in the morning and I may feed it up before releasing it. I wanna keep it!
Edit: On second thoughts, I’m going to have to find somewhere to re-home it. It’s not a wild bird and I don’t think it would survive long in the wild. A few years ago I saw these two on a bridge near me as I was walking by. They seemed quite tame so someone in the near vicinity must have a dovecote.

You can talk!You have a soft spot for the birds
How rare is a white one? I don't remember ever seeing one.
I see a few around here, but not common.
My old mini hifi in the office finally gave up the ghost this morning. I recovered it almost twenty years ago from the junk a tenant left. It's plugged into my computer, and I use it for listening to music videos on Youtube whilst I'm working or browsing. So, I brought down a much better hifi from the spare bedroom. Two problems. I'm finding it difficult to concentrate now on what I'm doing, because the music sounds so good. Also, I hadn't realised how bad quality some of my favourite music videos actually are (old live concerts), and now I can't bear to listen to them
Charlestown Harbour down the road has long been a filming location, and some years back for a film I can't recall, I always thought it was one of the 'Musketeers' films but apparently it wasn't. So, they needed a load of white doves and employed the services of some bloke from up north to bring a load of white doves down. When filming ended, they contacted the northern gentleman to enquire as to when he would be collecting his doves, he said no need, their homing instincts would take care of that. The doves apparently preferred the more civilised South West and decided to stay, and proliferate. Interestingly many have bred with pigeons so we have quite a few half castes, white with patches of pigeon colour.

All doves are white. I’ve tracked down a couple of local people that release doves at weddings and funerals. I’ll contact them later. Off out now to Sainsburys to get it some food!
